There 1 CERTAINTY YET ON TOBACCO CROP \ \ Expectation, However, Is There Will Be an Increase In Acreage ADVISE TO CONTRARY All Economists Say Larger Produc tion, if Crnsiderahle, Will Not Help Selling Price of Year’s Crop While the crop has not yet been tarted, and there is nothing positive m which to base an approximate jstimate, it is feared there will be tome slight increase in this year’s to bacco crop in this section of the Itate. Preparations to condition plant >eds are being made, but seed have lot yet been put into the ground, ex cept in rare instances, if at all. But seedbeds do not usually indicate the size of the crop. Little has been learned from grow ls as to what their intentions are, hut it is believed that many of them take the view tha they had a very ihort crop in 1932, and some of them none at all, due to the shortage ot tlanls and the destrubtivbness of dis and pests, so that they will ir. tome measure increase this year. Economic experts already have ad vised against a large increase. With employment still at a high figure, and Yith those who have jobs working sot 'ess money and a large portion of thf consuming public unable to buy eig irettes in the same volume as when times were better, there has been i, slight falling off in cigarette produc '.ion. But those who intend to put in a larger acreage wiH see it from the standpoint that the trade should be able to absorb a trifle more than the 1932 crop, gnd jtafiy act accordingly, AT atdfVice. Last year’s acre ; age was due both to an in tention plant less and also to croj jonditioris and plant shortage. : ■ Already plantbeds are being put ir n the Georgia belt, but there is little )f a definite nature from that belt as to the size of he crop. Any ma erial increase in the total Americar aroduction in 1933 is considered al nost certain to result in lower price; unless economic conditions have im proved very considerably more that, seems justified by the present out look. The safest course for growers, according to experts, is to hold here . age to about the same proportions .fc-j n 1932. If business is better and th/ buying power of the public greater it is pres uni ed that there will be >ar increase in prices for the raw leaf Otherwise, disaster might follow' v big rise in production. - i The New Theatre LAST TIMES TODAY Jack Holt Ralph Graves -—in— ‘War Correspondent’ With Lila Lee Admission: Mat nee l(M.6c Night 10-20 c SATURDAY “Flames” Featuring John tVTack Brown Admission 10 and 15c all day Added Comedy and Serial Coming Monday and Tuesday Stan Laurel—Oliver Hardy —in— “ Pack Up Your Troubles” is every indication that the present session wdl be a momentous one in many respects.

L. Sheppard, government loan agent here, said today he had re ceived no instructions as yet from the U. S. Department of Agriculture as to what the Federal policy would be as to seed loans for 1933. It is un derstood a bill providing for further credits this year has been introduced in and has passed the Senate, but that action has not yet beeh taken in the House. It is believed the credits will again be provided, but until the legislation is completed in Congress loan agents wil be given no authority to arrange for advances to fasmers. Meanwhie, Mr. Sheppard estimated 'that between two-thirds and three fourths of the approrimately $85,000 in seed loans made here last year had been Collected. He that far mers nad made a. sincere. effort, sot the most part, to repay the govern nent, ahd is hot yet Through making ! collections.-He expects to get in con : riderably more money even yet.

Raleigh, Jan. 6.—ls the Senate has its way, the finance and appropria tions committees will have only until February 6 to make their reports, building the State’s financial struc ture for the next two years. A re solution by Senator Moore, of New Bern, was a special order in the Sen ate today, and will go to the House probably early this afternoon. In event of the resolution’s passage by both houses, it will necessitate the two powerful committees’ completing the important task of raising and ap portioning revenues weeks earlier in the session than the job is usually accomplished.

Henderson, N, C. troducing the resolution, pointed out that many legislative veterans had informed him that they saw no rea son why the committee reports should not be made early in the session. Balancing the budget, he pointed out, would improve , the State’s credit standing when some of its financial obligations have to be met early in the year. The resolution provides for the im mediate discontinuance of all offices comm?ssions and departments “not immediately essential to the efficient administration of the government, or to the efficient conduct of its penal, charitable and educational institu tions or for the efficient continuance of school education.” It also orders the appropriations committee to hold all expenditures to a minimum and to provide for sufficient debt service and sinking funds to protect the ob ligations of the State. It further call ed on the committee to make no ap propriations except where revenue to meet them is adequately provided. The resolution also called for the rules committee to make a report on rules for the formation of a joint committee on reorganization of State government consisting of three sena tors and four representatives. This committee would report before Jan uary 20 on “such changes and con- solidaiions of governmental depart ments as are necessary.” Rural Churches NIEW SANDY CREEK BAPTIST Rec. L. B. Reavis, pastor.
